    Show me one on time I have ever defended CNN about anything.

    Show me one time I have defended CNN in this thread.

    I don't even like CNN they are really what is wrong with news reporting today by being much to sensational but what does CNN have to do with you not knowing the facts of the story?

    I am actually of the mind that the media needs to stop attacking the president about every little thing and would like them to start ignoring him because I think its becoming a pile on.

    What exactly do think I should admit O's.

    I'm content with the statement above. You don't owe me anything. This may disappoint you, but I really like the idea of people holding the media accountable and calling them out. On both sides. I'll pile on any right wing bullsh!t as quickly as I'll pile on any leftwing.

    I was thinking about this on my drive in today: There should be a media organization that goes after journalists who promote propaganda. Like a journalist would interview anyone else, this org could ask the journalist for comment on why he or she stated unfactual or political biased writing in their article. Then pick apart the article, pointing out the bias or opinions. The result might be the journalists would go back to holding themselves to a standard. The media is missing accountability.

    I know there are a few out there that half assuredly do this, but they only do it for one side. Make it hard core neutral.

    So why did you accuse me of what you did?

    Why would you think I defend CNN?

    Why do you think the FBI has proven to be corrupt?

    So do you think the IG office is currupt as well since they exonerated them for the most part.

    You just said you don't defend CNN, so that's put to rest in my mind. I fired the accusation at you because you seemed to want to focus on me rather than CNN's behavior.

    I do think that the FBI's regime during late part of the Obama era and the early part of the Trump presidency has been proven to be corrupt... at least in my mind. The IG did not exonerate anyone. Horowitz stated that while he couldn't prove politcal bias behind the FISA abuses, he also said he could not rule it out and he was not tasked to do that. If you're going to take the position that the IG exonerated McCabe, Comey, and the two lovers, I would counter that the senate exonerated Trump in the impeachment trial. I don't believe either case is true.

    I don't think the whole FBI is corrupt. I think there were some bad actors who did have a political agenda. If you can give me a plausible alternative as to why the FISA renewal was deliberately fudged, I'm open to it.

    Then hold Trump to that standard - and your words will mean something.

    Otherwise they don't.

    You either have integrity and honor and hold the same values for everything or you don't......

    Wait what?

    So you don't actually think the FBI is corrupt, but now its just a couple of people who have a bias, but during the Obama era they were currupt, which is it?

    I am not here defending everything the FBI did or does I am taking no position whatsoever about the above named people because I don't really care.

    It's very telling that you are now trotting out every talking point of the right wing media.

    Nice to have you back O's.
